One of the best things about Hong Kong is the food, especially the seafood. While I enjoy our Dungeness Crab out here, it's fun to discover different varieties. The hottest thing on the menu were the seasonal Hairy Crabs:
Lots and lots of crabs!
Let's take a look at some of the restaurants that I tried...

Pacific Place: Tien Yi
In the Pacific Place shopping center they have a restaurant off in the corner...Tien Yi It's not as busy as the neighboring Peking Garden as it's kinda hidden and doesn't have an open area. When we were seated at our table it was kinda quiet with only 2 o...

Peking Garden is a restaurant that we had tried back in 2012. I thought it was pretty good so let's see if things have changed or remained the same... They always had nice embroidered table cloths and napkins. They gave us a pickled cucumber dish with boi...
Xin Dau Ji
On the Kowloon side of Hong Kong I was disappointed to hear that my favorite Suckling Pig restaurant had closed. We were recommended to try this place: Xin Dau Ji: It's off a side street of the busy Nathan Road north of Austin Road. The downstairs has a w...

From your title...
I thought you went to the girlie bars Ming. ;) However, realizing the gourmand that you are, it soon made sense. :) Best fernando
I got Crabs in Macau too!
Hello Fernando, Thanks for looking, it was great to have finally meeting with you in person in Hong Kong! We also did some fantastic meals in Macau, will post those up too. Have you been to anywhere delicious lately? -MW
I really enjoyed the king crab..
in Japan last month. They are so delicious and can be done in different ways including tempora. They are meaty and require much less effort to de-shell. :) I have not taken to the habit of taking food pics. but next time I'll try to remember. :) Best fern...
re: enjoyed
Japan is a cool place to visit! Safe travels Fernando! Let us know if you discover any interesting crab places that you go to. -MW
too much to handle
Amazing, looks like you tried all the good places for crab. I wonder how HK people would like the Cajun style boiling crab in a bag that's popular here in SoCal? Regards, ED-209
it was a lot of food!
As usual we ate a lot in HK and it was worth every calorie! :) If done right, I think HK'ers would enjoy the Cajun-style dungeness crabs. -MW
You are blessed to be able to take all these great food...
I must visit HK someday, heard their Roast Goose is a must, plus Ah Yat's Abalone, missed this a lot from my S'pore trip many years ago. Rgds Raymond
re: great food
Since you are foodie, HK is a must do. Lots of places for roasted goose. We did got to try abalone at a couple of places and it was good. How is the selection of abalone near you? -MW
Simply put...if I crave for good Chinese cuisine, I drive...
300 miles to Vancouver, BC....local Chinese restaurants in USA, small cities...you know what I mean. Enjoy your fun and delicious trip. Rgds Raymond
re: crave
Vancouver is so beautiful. It's been a while since we've been there but I remember the food was really good. Long time ago in the 80's we did the World's Expo and visited Buchart Gardens on Vancouver Island. So amazed at the sunset so late at night! -MW
